How totally sweet! I loved that story. The innocence just like my little ones. My
baby is just talking and she saw a picture of some little girls in bathing suits
and swim caps today and she said "Grandma! Hi grandma!" and kissed the picture. I
was confused at first, but I figured out that the swim cap reminds her of the
wrap my mom uses to cover her bald head when the kids are over. It isn't strange
at all to her that Grandma has lost her hair recently. All she cares about is
what is under it all-her beloved Grandma. It made me smile. Kids have a way of
looking at the world that can be so refreshing if you take the time to see
through their eyes. = ) Lisa
